Jason W. Moore

Jason W. Moore is an American historian and environmental scholar who studies the interconnectedness of human societies and the environment. He explores how economic systems, especially capitalism, shape natural resources, labor, and ecological change over time. Moore argues that the economy is embedded within the Earth’s ecosystems and that understanding environmental issues requires examining these social and ecological relationships together. His work emphasizes that history, environment, and economy are deeply intertwined, helping us better grasp how human activities impact the planet and how to find sustainable pathways forward.
